Wheels for W210 and W211

Will the stock wheels on a 2006 E350 fit on my 1999 E430? My brother-in-law bought some new rims/tires for his E350 and is practically giving me his old set. His old tires only have 500 miles on them and I'm in need a new set of tires for my E430. If his rims fit, I'm all good!

critical specs: offset, wheel thickness (through the bolt hole to back surface),
wheel width, bolt length, bolt diameter, ball seat radius.

your model uses 12mm bolt diam, 12mm ball seat radius, prob 1.75" bolt length,
7" wheel width, ET38.

E350 uses 14mm bolt diam, 14mm ball seat, guessing 1" bolt length, 8-8.5"
rim width, and ET36

so, it may, but you need to post the specs on the new rims to determine
rub potential. your lugs are too small and will result in poor ball seat contact.
....though there is a hybrid bolt available, grafting 14mm ball seat to 12mm
diameter bolt. you'll also need to select bolt length, after you measure the
thickness of the wheel at the bolt.

Hey arnel. There is a sticky up above on this exact issue. Short answer: with the custom lug bolts noted in the sticky the wheels will fit. The bad news? The tires will rub in the front. So you will either need new tires or spacers and then you'll have different lugs front and rear.
My recommendation: if you like the wheels get them, the lugs and ... new tires that fit. Since you mention needing tires, though, these wheels won't help you.

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
